Abstract

First and foremost, I would like to say that I was very nervous
prior to my student teaching experience. I was lacking confidence in
my teaching abilities, and I wasn't sure if I could handle the
responsibilities of a student teacher. This insecurity, however, was
quickly put to rest as my internship took full effect. I can honestly
say that my student teaching internship shaped into one of the most
incredible and positive experiences that I have ever been associated
with. I was placed in probably the best situation that could have
been made possible. My supervising teacher, school administrators,
students, and faculty helped make the experience successful and
genuine. I found out that I love teaching and it is what I want to do
for the rest of my life. To be successful teacher, I believe there is a
need for the passion to teach. You have to want to reach these
children, and make a difference in their lives. You need not just go
through the motions; you must care about your students and love
your job. I found that I am willing to take that extra step, I have
found my passion.
